Kevin and Family,
We are deeply saddened by your loss. There are so many fond memories from Jack Desmond's gatherings. The Irish New Year Parties in Blue Island were always a joyous riot.
These are memories we will treasure forever.
The love and kindness from your family is an example for all.
Always in our thoughts and prayers.
John & Denice.

Kay will remain forever in the hearts of everyone who was lucky enough to know her and especially those of us privileged to call her cousin. Kay was an exceptionally kind and loving person who adored her beloved Kevin, their children and grandchildren and her sense of fun was unparalleled, she lit up every room just by her presence. All of us slightly younger cousins looked up to Kay and we’re in awe of her, nobody more so than myself. I am sorry I won’t be able to make it on Saturday but will be following along with love. My deepest condolences to Kevin and the entire family may Kay rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing to you all❤️❤️
